Congratulations Volker! Here is the official prize citation: "Volker Braun is a key contributor to all aspects of Sage development, contributing code and reviews for core mathematical functions and providing technical improvements to the build system and code maintenance. He has quickly become a central figure in the Sage development community.
In his four years of involvement, Volker has moved from contributing code for cohomology of toric varieties to being the current release manager. Along the way, he has greatly improved the integration of GAP with libGAP, created and distributed virtual machine versions of Sage and the Sage notebook, managed much of the transition to git version control over the past nine months, and made numerous improvements to doctesting, the build system and overall code maintenance. He has fixed many difficult bugs, while also being a generous reviewer. In recognition of his important and sustained contributions across all aspects of Sage development, Volker Braun is awarded the 2014 Spies Sage Development Prize. This award carries a prize of $500 from the Sage Foundation (thanks to Jaap Spies)."
